Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 560 Posts	Posted 04/18/2026 2:28 pm It seems that this 5 Centavos is struck on a planchet were some metal was missing before the minting process.. You can see it at the right side (4 o'clock), I haven't seen this before.. And it seems to be a keeper.. Any thoughts/opinions about this? Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff

Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 560 Posts	Posted 04/19/2026 11:29 am I have indeed a (cheap) scale, so it can be a bit off.. The weight is: 2,72 grams I made also another photo with daylight.. You can follow the line from the edge till the first wing feather.. I'm quit certain it's not PMD.. Report this Post to the Staff
